Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Penning coin from Norway, minted during the reign of Håkon V Magnusson (1305-1310), is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was made of silver. This feature was not present on all coins of the same denomination, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
